Ship Management

One key factor for Gram Car Carriers AS (GCC) to succeed as a supplier of PCTCs to the operators is to work closely with a knowledgeable and dedicated Ship Management company. The operators of PCTCs are working closely with the car manufacturers all over the world, and these manufacturers expect very high standard of service level from the operators. In the end, it is the performance of the vessels and their officers and crews that will establish the service level experienced by the manufacturers.

Strategic cooperation with OSM Group

GCC has therefore established a strategic cooperation with OSM Group in Norway and their daughter company in Singapore, OSM Ship Management Pte Ltd, in order to be able to meet the high standard of performance expected from the car manufacturers and the vessel's operators. OSM has supervised the building of the vessels built and delivered from Kyokuyo Shipyard in Japan, and Mingde Shipyard in Nantong China. OSM Singapore has today full management of all Gram Car Carriers's PCTCs on T/C.
